Chapter 5 Operations and Relations
Alex Point of View
False Alarm. It turns out this girl had the same colored hair as Alice. She got into the pool doing slow laps. Hmm she was hot but not as pretty as Alice. Why was I thinking of her? I closed my eyes and went underwater, closing my eyes. I held my breath for as long as I could, I needed to think of something else...
After about 5 minutes I came back up again, a couple of people were curious about why I took so long, hehe, wait till they hear my personal best is 7 minutes and 23 seconds!
As I floated around the pool lazily in a starfish doing nothing, my thoughts wondered to my past.
Back in the orphanage, this crazy looking woman came one day, she just stood and watched what we did for like a week, whether it was us sleeping or reading, she was always keeping a constant watch. She freaked me out, that's all I could remember.
Then she picked me to adopt and drove me to a weird construction site and sat me up on top of her hummer, she bought me lollipops and while I was eating them she explained I was lucky, now I get to fulfill my dreams.
“Hey.” I look around to see that hot chick looking at me, breaking my flashback.
“Um hey!” I say smiling at her. “What's your name?” might as well enjoy myself here...
“Sarah, what's yours?” She said taking her time to rake her blue eyes over my body, checking me out.
“I'm Ryan” I say, lying smoothly, I had a century of practice. So why did I tell Alice my real name? I've never done that before to a girl, why her? Is it because she is different? Because she's just like me? Why am I thinking of her? I abandoned my thoughts and turned my attention back on the girl.
“So I was thinking, I'll be bored in my room tonight, I have no plans, want to join me for something.” she said smiling seductively.
Okay that was pathetic. I didn't even have to try.
"Nah, I don't like easy game." I said and got out of the pool. As I got in the elevator I could see her sending death glares at me.
And just before the elevator doors closed, I winked at her.

“Hey kiddo, mind if I join you?” Franco said. He was wearing black swimming trunks under his 6 pack abs. I could see a couple ladies eying him.
“Sure come in, the water's really warm.” I said, although I wouldn't admit it to anyone, Franco was like my father and I adored him.
“So about this airplane guy, I contacted the offices here and they're trying to figure out who he is, if they get no lead then you might have to go over there and do a sketch of his face or something.” he said sliding into the water.
“Yeah, whatever they want.” I said. He just smiled at me.
“Where am I going tomorrow?” I asked, curious. I loved traveling and spontaneous exotic locations were awesome but curiousity always gets the better of me.
“Umm, I'm not sure, its either Paris or someplace cold.” He replied, looking up at the stars.
“Someplace cold? That doesn't sound good.” I said.
“Yeah, don't forget to pack your mittens.” he joked. I laughed, everyone knew I couldn't wear mittens, it interfered with my aim and some weapons you need to have your bare arms to operate with, maybe gloves would do...
“So this guy you met, is he 'hot'?” Franco joked. I rolled my eyes at him and he laughed, I don't need any distractions right now and Franco knew that. But Alex was hot, all the guys that I had met and worked with around the world couldn't compare to him. It wasn't just his looks, it was his confidence, he was hot and he knew it. He was the selfish, self-absorbed player type and I had no interest in those type of guys.
“Well kiddo, I'm gonna go get some shut eye. I'm gonna need it in a few days. Good Night!” and with that he walked out of the pool. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he's one of our best snipers. It was what he did when he wasn't our debriefing officer.
“Good Night.” I said and dove underwater, closing my eyes and letting go, relishing the cool feeling like velvet caressing my skin. I should call Gabrielle.
Flash Back
Alice Point of View
“Don't worry, we will try not to kill you.” the Doctor told me, making a lame attempt at a joke. It didn't help comfort me in any way at all. I looked at him, he was around 50 years old and wore thick glasses, he was balding badly and whatever hair he had let was white, his face was sagging with age and there were quite a few wrinkles there as well. However, he had awesome blue eyes, like the sea. Why was I thinking about this? Oh yeah, anything to distract me from the terrible operation I had to go through in a few short hours.
I was fine health-wise, they just wanted to make a few 'tweaks' in my body “to heighten my 5 senses, to give me greater strength, to make me more durable.” At least thats what they said. I could've said no but my company was forcing me to and I had no choice but to undergo this stupid operation.
Oh yeah, and another thing to be worried about, I'm the second person in this world to have this particular surgery, apparently the first one died because of some complication. That was a comforting thought.
I remembered the doctor still standing there and asked, “Is it going to hurt?”
“Yes it would but you will be heavily sedated and wouldn't even know we are operating on you.” he said, his wrinkles moving in rhythm to his words, man he had lots of wrinkles!
“Good to know” I said, feeling scared all over again.
“Hey Kiddo!” Franco suddenly entered my room, I jumped, startled. He always managed to do that!
“Ready for the big operation?”
“Hell ya!” I said sarcastically, he laughed and came over to my bed.
“Don't worry, I know you are going to make it out alive, I have faith in you.” He said smiling at me. “I also have faith in this hospital and Dr. Rubens.” he said, referring to old Mr. Wrinkles here.
“Thanks,” I said, “And if I don't make it out alive, I love you!” I said.
“I love you too.” he smiled and kissed the top of my head. “And you are going to make it out alive.” he added as an afterthought.
“Okay, I will try my best”
